    I read the article, but nothing can convince me the discord execs aren’t purely thinking of how ways to further enshittify.

    So does anyone know a proper alternative that doesn’t scare every non-tech person on my server?

    I already lost people when we initially moved from a facebook group to discord.

    I believe i can self-host a matrix client but no idea how well it will work with people currently having notifications by discord bot on their phone

      There’s very little that doesn’t scare non tech people.

        According to tech people. 🙃

      Revolt is probably the closest fit revolt.chat

        revolt.chat

        Safe binaries we can validate with signed manifests, or just ISO27002-violating FlatSnappImage spooge?

      I heard Element just added screensharing

        It’s still in beta and audio appears to not always work when streaming. Though, there’s recent activity on the related issues, so hopefully it gets out of beta before Discord alienates the regular user.

        I tested it a few days ago and besides the audio problem it appears to work very well.

        Element with Matrix.org is getting pretty decent.

      Keet is pretty cool and (granted I am a tech person) is pretty dead simple to use.

      I signed up with Matrix and it was not seamless but maybe a private server would be great and they could go from there (but that feels like a long term commitment to supporting those users). I haven’t really played much with it. Tried getting the folks in my discord server to give it a try but they haven’t and they are tech folks. I would say it’s not ready for normies, but I really wish it was.

        says the guy who also says

        my discord server

        as if the two ideas aren’t the same.

        If you do it right, too, the private server is $0 in continuing labour.

    It already is (and was long before any ads)

    Anyone know of a Matrix client that supports sound sharing?

    Or at least a method on adding sound to the screen share for the window you’re focused on?

    I feel like it would be an easier sell to someone to ditch Discord if that functionality could be preserved. Haven’t found it myself.

      You could use jitsi meet. Kinda similar to zoom though imo

      • WilfordGrimley@linux.community ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        I think you can also use Jitsi as a plugin from within Matrix

    With discord already being pretty shitty, I am interested in what ideas they are coming up with.
